One issue there is that there's a lot more data to download than tiles at home.
How long would it take to download the preprocessed data compared to
processing it?

Also, how would we obtain the preprocessed data?  Do we have to order it on
disk, or is there a way we might be able to have each node download it from
someone else's server?  If the latter, tiles at home style might make sense,
but we'd need permission otherwise it could be seen as a DDOS attack.
